About the job
Ignite Your Passion for Education
Are you prepared to embark on a journey of educational innovation? At Zeta, we are committed to a unique blend of exceptional academic performance and social-emotional growth for our students. We believe that every student deserves a premier education while nurturing a deep love for learning. Our mission is to transform the landscape of public education in New York City and beyond, and we stand firm in our dedication to this cause.
Currently, we operate multiple elementary and middle schools throughout the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Queens, and we are steadily expanding - opening 1-2 new schools annually. Our goal is to ensure that children in every community receive access to outstanding and equitable education. As part of this growth, we are excited to introduce our inaugural Zeta High School class of 9th graders in the 2026-27 school year, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to provide a comprehensive PreK-12 educational pathway. Join our dynamic team today and become a catalyst for change in children's lives.
Achieve Remarkable Outcomes
To fulfill our vision, we are seeking dedicated Entry Level “Resident” Teachers who possess a Bachelor’s degree and a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0, along with a strong desire for rapid professional growth in a supportive, feedback-driven environment.
The Zeta Teacher Residency Program is a three-year initiative tailored for new educators. As a Resident Teacher, you will play a vital role in cultivating a classroom environment that inspires a genuine love for learning and fosters a sense of community for families. If you are not already on the path to New York State Teacher Certification, Zeta will support your enrollment in a two-year, fully subsidized Master’s degree program at Touro University. This program will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to elevate your teaching practice, leading you toward New York State professional certification in both general and special education, which is a requirement for this role.
This position entails a three-year commitment: two years as a teacher and graduate student, followed by a third year as a fully certified teacher at Zeta.
Key Responsibilities:
With the guidance of your school leaders and fellow educators, you will:
- Design inquiry-driven, academically rigorous lessons that spark curiosity, accelerate learning, and empower every student to think critically and creatively.
- Establish a robust and consistent classroom culture to foster a safe, joyful, and intellectually stimulating learning environment where all students can flourish.
